An appeal must be based on procedural errors in the case. The Wall Street Journal states that he is claiming the following:
1-The fraud theory that the government based its case on was flawed.
2-The judges instructions to the jury were contained errors.
3-The judge was wrong to not moe the trial outside Houston since the jury pool was tainted.
4-The voir dire process was flawed and Skillings lawyers were unable to identify jurors who could not put aside their biases.
The appeal has been sent to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Perhaps a decision will be made by the time my 2302's cover the judiciary.
